Introduction
This document provides hardware and software installation procedures for the T1 Telco
accelerator card along with a guide to the T1 skeleton design. The skeleton design is created
specifically for the 16 nm Zynq
®
Ult™ MPSoC and Zynq Ult RFSoC devices on
the T1 card, and provides connections and software to validate the main interfaces of the board.

The Xilinx
®
T1 Telco accelerator card is a PCI Express
®
(PCIe) Gen3 x16 compliant card featuring
the 16 nm Zynq
®
Ult™ MPSoC and Zynq Ult RFSoC devices. The T1 form factor
is full height, half length (FHHL) and single slot, with a PCIe Gen 3 x16 interface that is x8x8
bifurcated providing x8 links from the host to each MPSoC and RFSoC device. Target applications
for the T1 card include:
• O-RAN fronthaul termination
• 4G LTE and 5G NR high-PHY lookaside acceleration (supporting 3GPP split option 7-2x)
• 5G layer 1 (L1) high-PHY lookaside acceleration
